With work on Jordan Park's
transformation into a centralized
soccer field complex almost
complete, town capital
planning is shifting to the two
elementary schools.
Ongoing construction at
Jordan Park is intended to expand
its flexibility, said Town
Administrator Robert Dolan,
as a facility for 4 to 18-year-old
players. Dolan praised Board
of Selectmen member Philip
Crawford for prioritizing the
Jordan work.
The Wildewood Drive park
is named for Marine 1st Lt.
Allan H. Jordan who was killed
in combat in 1968.
The Huckleberry and Summer
Street Elementary Schools are
brimming with students and the
discussion on how to provide
more space has begun.
“We're running at full capacity.
Lynnfield is rapidly turning
into a younger community, so
what do you do?” asked Town
Administrator Robert Dolan.
Some of the answers could

Dolan said New England

Dolan anticipates the discussion
will prompt the Board of
Selectmen to form a School

deeper into space options encompassing
renovations or
construction ideas.
He credited Selectman

Social Security for minor
children, Part One
If you have minor children
at home, Social Security benefits
may be available to them.
Know these rules and get maximum
benefits for your family.
It is not so unusual today
for a person eligible for Social
Security retirement benefits
to have young children. Once
the parent files for benefits, a
minor child may also qualify
for Social Security dependent
benefits. The child can be a
natural child, an adopted child,
or a stepchild.
Each child may receive 50
percent of the parent’s primary
insurance amount (PIA) up
to the family maximum. The
benefit may continue until the
child is 18, or 19 if still in high
school.
Example: Don is age 66 and
has a PIA of $2,400. He has one
child, Diane, who is 10. Once
Don files for his benefit, Diane
may receive a dependent benefit
of 50 percent of Don’s PIA,
or $1,200. This benefit may
continue until Diane turns 18.
Note that it will be necessary
for the parent to file for his own
benefit in order for the child
to receive benefits. Because it
is often recommended that the
higher-earning spouse delay
benefits to age 70 to maximize
both the retirement benefit and
the survivor benefit for the surviving
spouse, this creates a
conflict:
Do you file early and take a
reduced benefit so you can start
benefits for the child?
Or do you file at the optimal
time for your own lifetime benefit
even if it means missing
out on a few years of children’s
benefits?
We have analyzed this and
concluded that the optimal
strategy is to delay benefits.
Filing at 62 would cause the
primary earner’s benefit to be
reduced to such an extent that
the extra years of children’s
benefits would not make up for
the loss in lifetime benefits for
the worker and his surviving
spouse. Remember, when one
spouse dies, the couple’s lower
benefit will stop, and the higher
of the two benefits will continue.
The surviving spouse will
need a high survivor benefit
to maintain their standard of
living.
If your child is receiving a
benefit based on your record,
your spouse may be able to
receive a benefit for having a
child in care. The child-in-care
benefit is generally 50 percent
of your PIA until the child turns
16.
There are two issues that
could cause benefits to be reduced.
One is the earnings
test. The other is the family
maximum.
Most parents of minor children
must continue to work.
(There is college to save for,
after all.) If a parent files for
his benefit before full retirement
age, some or all of his
benefit – and all other benefits
paid on his record – may
be withheld for the earnings
test. Filing at full retirement
age or later avoids this mandatory
withholding of benefits.
Furthermore, any child-in-care
benefits paid to the spouse
may be withheld if the spouse
works. Not much can be done
about this: If the spouse is
under full retirement age and
works, some or all of the childin-care
benefit may be withheld.
However, depending
on how the family maximum
comes into play, it may behoove
the spouse to forego the
child-in-care benefit to make
more benefits available to the
children.
There is a maximum amount
of dependent benefits that
can be paid on each person’s
earnings record. This is called
the maximum family benefit
(MFB) and it is shown on your
Social Security statement. It’s
generally about 150 percent to
180 percent of your PIA. Here’s
how it works: Your PIA is subtracted
from the MFB to determine
the amount of benefits that
can be paid to family members.
In Part Two, I will go over
some specific situations you
might encounter when you have
minor children drawing social
security benefits.

One of the projects involves
Catholic Charities Child Care
Center of Lynn.
“The majority of children
served (at Catholic Charities)
are foster children,” said
Christine Feeney Breslow,
whose daughter Sarah’s group
came up with the idea. “The
center is in constant need
of supplies, mainly diapers,
Pull-Ups, wipes, toothbrushes,
underwear, socks, crib sheets
and hats and mittens.”
Other projects include
collecting supplies for the
Plummer Youth Promise in
Salem, which offers residential
programs, including one to
house young men and women
referred by juvenile court, and
a foster care program.
Others are collecting for
the Northeast Animal Shelter,
Girls Inc. of Lynn (where candidates
served a Thanksgiving
dinner last November as well
as continuing to tutor members.
Some are collecting
fleece blanket for patients at
Children’s Hospital in Boston.
Also involved is a project to
collect socks and diapers for
state child services. Some of
the teens have chosen to go
into nursing homes to visit the
elderly patients there, while
others are collecting books to
give to elementary school students
in Lynn.
Others are extending their
services closer. One group has
chosen to be in charge of the
children’s liturgy of the word
on Sundays in the two parishes.
“I wanted these students to
see what it’s like to be kind,”
Yannone said, “to do unto
others what you would want
done to you.
“How does it make you feel
when you’ve done something
kind? Do you feel happy? Sad?
“They really seem to have
worked it out,” Yannone said.
“They see how it all relates
to our faith. As Catholics, we
are supposed to live the Ten
Commandments.”
Yannone said that all the
groups got to pick their own activities.
There were some suggestions
made, Breslow said,
but the candidates also got to
come up with their own ideas.
For example, Breslow “in my
former life, before I had children,”
worked in the field of
charitable giving in Boston.
“Catholic Charities was always
on our radar,” she said.
“My daughter and her friends
are at that age where they’re all
into babysitting and working
with kids. Sarah and I came up
with the agency, and pitched
the idea to the rest of the girls
in the group.”
Sarah Breslow’s group
worked on donations through
December by, among other
things, asking friends and relatives
for donations and putting
out messages on social
media. They are now waiting
for a date where they can drop
the donations off to the facility
in Lynn.
“I couldn’t be prouder of
them,” Yannone said, “and one
of the reasons is that they’re
pretty proud of themselves.
“Some of them have helped
their elderly neighbors who
cannot get out of the house,”
she said. “The point of the
project is to teach them how to
live their faith.”

young families move into

The increase is obvious and
ominous in Lynnfield with kindergarten
enrollment growing
and setting the stage for increases
in older grades as children
move from one grade to
the next.
NESDEC will sketch out
the broader picture illustrating
Lynnfield’s younger population
increase while Tappe will offer
perspectives at the upcoming
meeting on how Huckleberry
and Summer Street can address
space needs.
Dolan said it’s not too soon for
town officials and residents to
address school space concerns.
School projects typically take a
year and a half to plan and launch.

“The next step is decision
making — is there a problem and
how do we fix it?” Dolan said.
To the town’s credit, Dolan
said Lynnfield has a good track
record tackling school space
needs in a timely fashion. The
past decade saw the town address
and plan out high school,
middle school and Huckleberry
space needs and implement a
comprehensive athletic field
upgrade plan.

School officials pitch $27.5 million budget for 2021
Meeting the needs of all
students.
That's the message School
Superintendent Jane Tremblay
wants to deliver with her proposed
$27,530,266 budget for
the spending year that begins
on July 1.
“Our Fiscal Year 2021 priorities
are crystal clear and always
have been, and that is to address
the needs of all students,” said
Tremblay, who was assisted by
Finance Director Tom Geary
in preparing the spending plan.
“We need to proactively address
social and emotional needs and
for that we need continued
growth for educators and support
staff to continue building
leadership capacity. Everything
you hear tonight will tie back to
those building blocks.”
The budget represents an increase
of 6.4 percent over the
current FY 20 budget and includes
several new teaching positions,
including a kindergarten
teacher and paraprofessional at
the Summer Street School; an
elementary special education
chairperson; two elementary
school adjustment counselors;
a media center assistant at
Lynnfield Middle School; one
district-wide English Language
Learners (ELL) teacher; one
full-time technology support
position and three part-time
technology/media assistants.
The budget also includes a
$250,000 technology capital
request to replace outdated
Chromebooks at the middle
and elementary schools, upgrade
teacher laptops and
docking stations at the middle
school and replace Smart
Boards and document cameras
district-wide. Tremblay also
asked for $20,000 to replace the
phone system at Summer Street
and $30,000 to replace the bell
system at the high school.
Tremblay said the addition
of another kindergarten teacher
at Summer Street is necessary
in order to adhere to class size
guidelines which call for no
more than 18-22 students in
kindergarten and first grade.
Currently Summer Street has
69 kindergarteners spread over
four sections. Tremblay said
that they expect 92 kindergarten
students in 2020-2021.
“This is positively imperative
and is almost non-negotiable,”
Hit the ice at MarketStreet
for February break
said Tremblay. “With 92 incoming
kindergarteners even
if we go down by four or five,
we still need a fifth classroom.
Never in my 33 years have there
been more than four sections at
each school.”
The district is currently wrapping
up work on a feasibility
study to address concerns over
a spike in student population
that has put a premium on class
space and size.
“Hopefully we will have
more information when the
architect can tell us what our
options are as we are all wondering
where we are going to
put these kids,” said committee
member Tim Doyle. “This may
not be just a blip, it might be
the new norm.”
Tremblay said an elementary
school special education chairperson
is necessary in order to
redress unmanageable caseloads
and to provide oversight
and programming across both
elementary schools. New state
coordination and documentation
requirements are also a factor.
Tremblay has requested two
elementary school adjustment
counselors to address a spike
in the number of younger students
with social and emotional
learning issues.
“This is a phenomenon, a
real crisis, that has come out
of nowhere,” said committee
member Jamie Hayman. “We
need to put some data behind
this to find out how many kids
are actually in crisis.”
Committee member Phil
McQueen noted that both elementary
school principals
spend a great part of their day
dealing with psychological and
emotional issues because the
schools are not equipped with
adjustment counselors.
Tremblay said that trained
adjustment counselors will help
support students struggling with
depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar
disorder, oppositional disorder
and autism spectrum disorders,
and would also be a huge
benefit for teachers and administrators
who are not specialists in
mental health crisis intervention.
An explosion in the number
of ELL students is the basis
for adding a district-wide ELL
teacher. In one year, the district
has gone from 42 to 54 students
and in two years the number of
languages in the district has increased
from 19 to 25.
Tremblay said those numbers
are likely to continue to increase.
“Some kids are coming in
with no English at all,” said
Tremblay. "We are struggling to
meet these needs.”
Tremblay also requested one
full-time technology support
position and three part-time
assistants.
“If we could get this in the
media centers at the elementary
and middle schools, our
one full-time digital learning
coach (Sarah Perkins) could
actually do her job in digital
learning and be freed up to
help the teachers more and
not trouble shooting every day
computer needs, like ‘how do I
get my computer on?’ Adding
these positions frees her up to
do what she was hired to do.”
One of the regions most
popular outdoor skating rinks,
the MarketStreet Rink features
a classic 50 by 100 foot
skating area with a warming
hut to ensure skaters and spectators
stay toasty in even the
chilliest of weather.
Located on The Green, the
heart of MarketStreet’s community
events and gatherings,
near lululemon, J.Crew and
Zinneken’s Belgian Waffles, the
rink will be extending its hours

Art Guild
presents
Nan Rumpf
WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 FEBRUARY 6, 2020
The Lynnfield Art Guild
(LAG) is proud to announce
that its 56th season continues
with Nan Rumpf, water media
artist, on Thursday, Feb. 20, 7
p.m. in the all-purpose room
at the Lynnfield Senior Center,
525 Salem St.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
for refreshments and socializing.
Nan Rumpf’s painting
methods are highly creative
and her work ranges from
representational watercolor to
collage and mixed media. She
has worked as a visiting artist
in local colleges and in public
schools and for twenty years
was a professional puppeteer.
The artist studied watercolor
painting with Susan Swinand,
Charles Reid, Miles Batt, and
Cheng Khee Chee. She is the
recipient of many awards, including
the Golden Award at
the NEWS national juried show
in Gloucester, and recently she
had a painting accepted into the
American Watercolor Society’s
International Juried Exhibition
in New York City.
Rumpf is an exhibiting
member of the Wellesley
Society of Artists, an artist
member of the Rhode Island
Watercolor Society, and a signature
member of the New
England Watercolor Society.
Her paintings have been exhibited
at, among other prestigious
art venues: the Danforth
Museum in Framingham, The
Center for Arts in Natick,
The Concord Art Association,
The Attleboro Arts Museum,
the New England Watercolor
Society's Show and The Art
Complex Museum in Duxbury.
She gives workshops around
the Boston area and teaches
classes in her home studio in
Wellesley and can be accessed
on line at www.NanRumpf.com.
“The process of painting
is what most fascinates me.
I like to see how watercolors
and other water media react
to different painting surfaces
and interact with each other.
Experimenting with different
methods to obtain accidental
texture appeals to me. These
experiments give me something
to respond to and motivate me
to continue experimenting as I
develop each painting keeping
in mind line, shape and composition.
Making one change often
strongly suggests the next,”
stated Rumpf.
The public is encouraged
to join the Guild members for
this demonstration of art with
refreshments and artistic company
for $5 (non-member fee)
6:30-9:30 p.m.
Membership in the Lynnfield
Art Guild, open to artisans,
photographers, artists, and art
appreciators with student and
family memberships available,
includes free attendance at all
demonstrations, the ability to
show and sell art in the fall
and spring shows, and many
other benefits. Please visit our

High school extends
a guiding hand
WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 7
Captain Karl calling it quits
High school guidance counselors
are offering evening and
daytime planning sessions for
students preparing for admission
tests and college applications —
and a program for parents.
Breakfast with Guidance has
three sessions planned for the balance
of the school year to provide
parents with information on different
aspects of the high school
experience in a relaxed and collegial
setting. All sessions are held
in the faculty dining room from
9:30-10:30 a.m.
The Feb. 7 session is focused
on standardized testing and the
role that it plays in the college
admissions process. Counselors
will discuss American College
Testing and Scholastic
Assessment Test composition
and but the role that the tests
play in the college process.
On April 3, a senior panel
will discuss how they survived
their high school years with the
goal of helping parents start
and guide discussions with high
school-age children.
Welcoming incoming ninth
grade families will be the topic
on June 12 with an introduction
to high school in an informal
open forum.
The guidance is also offering
three evening programs over the
next few months with each scheduled
in the high school auditorium,
275 Essex St., at 6:30 p.m.
Junior Planning Night is
Thursday, Feb. 6 with a snow
date of Feb. 11. This event is
a "must attend" for any family
who will be experiencing the
post-high school planning process
for the first time with their
juniors. This evening is loaded
with important information and
"insider tips" about what lies
ahead in the process.
Sophomore Planning Night is
Tuesday, March 10. The Family
Connections/Naviance program
that the counselors will introduce
to all sophomores during
their classroom presentation
will be discussed. In addition,
the process of post-high school
planning will be discussed.
College Rep Panel Night will
be held Thursday, May 14. A
panel of admissions representatives
from a variety of schools
to which our students typically
apply will discuss national
trends in college admissions as
well as strategies and tips for
the application process in general.
This program is open to
all families and students are encouraged
to attend.
For questions regarding any
of these sessions or any general
questions about the guidance department,
feel free to f you have
a question regarding any of these
six programs or any offering
of the Lynnfield High School
Guidance Department should
feel free to contact the department
office at 781-334-5823.

Police Department second-in-command
Capt. Karl
Johnson hung up his uniform
for the last time last Friday and
got a retirement send off from
two dozen colleagues.
“He will be extremely hard
to replace. There is not a job in
the department he couldn't do,”
said Chief David Breen.
Johnson joined the Lynnfield
department in 2002 after
working 16 years with the Lynn
Police Department. Promoted
to sergeant in 2005, the
Newburyport resident has been
a captain for 10 years. With 22
officers and more than 10 square
miles of neighborhoods and
roads to patrol, Johnson said the
job presented challenges more
than offset by town residents he
met during his career.
“I met really great people,”
he said.
Johnson's retirement comes
during a busy time for the
department.
A radio site upgrade, a new
keyscan system and a new
telephone system are department
equipment upgrade priorities
for the upcoming budget
round. Breen told the Board
of Selectmen last month that
the department has proposed
splitting the $97,000 radio site
upgrade with the fire department.
Breen said this is the final
year of the five-year project,
replacing dated copper wiring
with fiber optics.
PHOTO | THOR JOURGENSEN
The keyscan system project
calls for complete replacement of
the 10-year-old system at a cost of
$23,000, which will also be split
50-50 with the fire department.
A new telephone system, with
a price tag of $22,000 to be split
with the fire department, ranked
third in priority.
Breen is also asking for a new
Chevy Tahoe police cruiser at a
cost of $39,897.24. He also wants
to replace four computers with
Windows 10 operating systems
for the station at a cost of $7,000
and two mobile computers with
compatible software for the
cruisers at a cost of $6,000.

It’s off to Endicott for Clay Marengi
By Daniel Kane
LYNNFIELD — A lot has changed
for Lynnfield’s Clayton Marengi in the
last year.
A three-sport athlete, Marengi went into
his senior year heartset on finding a place
to focus on his baseball career in college.
Then a funny thing happened.
He had a breakout and record-breaking
football season as the Pioneers’ quarterback
last fall, prompting Marengi to do
an about face and has trade in the diamond
for the gridiron after committing
to play football at Endicott College.
Marengi rewrote the Pioneers record
books this past fall, setting the program’s
single season record in passing touchdowns
(31) and passing yards (2,542).
Marengi also led Lynnfield with 251
rushing yards. The historic season not
only caught the eyes of coaches around
the Cape Ann League, but gathered attention
from across the state.
In December, Marengi was named CAL
Baker Division Offensive Player of the Year.
He also received the Daily Item Agganis
Offensive Player of the Year award.
Last week, Marengi was named to the
Massachusetts High School Football
Coaches Association All-Star team.
Only 26 players from across the state
are selected to the team each year and
Marengi, who is quick to credit his success
on the football field to his coaches,
never thought he’d be one of them.
“It’s crazy, the feeling is surreal,”
Marengi said. “And it couldn’t have
been possible without our coaches at
Lynnfield. I was shocked when I first
found out to be honest. But again, all the
credit goes to my coaches. They played
a huge part in making this past year possible.
They gave me the confidence I
needed to succeed. They believed in me
and vice versa.”
This past year the Pioneers unloaded

of their talent. It took some getting

used to but obviously the work paid dividends
this season with Marengi and his
teammates thriving on the field.
“The coaches really made it work,”
Marengi said. “We couldn’t have had
the season we had and done everything
we did without them, especially coach
(Ted) Flaherty. This was his first year
serving as our offensive coordinator and
he brought a whole new offense in. I was
a bit skeptical at first, but it ended up fitting
perfectly with the players we had.”
The decision to attend Endicott wasn’t
an easy one, but staying closer to home
in Beverly and joining a handful of recent
Lynnfield grads who have continued
their athletic career with the Gulls, including
Clayton’s brother Cooper, who
became a member of Endicott’s baseball
team last spring, helped make Endicott
feel like the right fit.
“The whole decision has definitely
been a little overwhelming,” Marengi
said. “I really didn’t know what I was
going to do. My junior year of high
school I definitely thought I was going
to play college baseball somewhere.
But All the support from my family, my

friends and the community helped me
out. I feel like I definitely made the right
decision and I’m excited about it.”
When it comes to the football field,
Marengi believes that Gulls coach Paul
McGonagle and his staff can pick up
where Lynnfield’s coaches left off in improving
his game.
“I’ve talked with (McGonagle) and he
seems like a great guy,” Marengi said. “It
seems like a good program and the right
fit. I feel like I fit in perfectly with them.
My brother goes there and it’s close to
home. It’s the right place for me.”

Tanners honor seniors in style
By Scot Cooper
The Peabody/Lynnfield girls
hockey team took a big step
toward a league championship
with a Senior Night 5-0 win
over visiting Marblehead Sat
Saturday at McVann-O’Keefe
Arena.
With the win, the team
maintained its share of first
place in the Northeastern
Hockey League standings with
Masconomet, which defeated
Beverly/Danvers 5-3. Both
teams, which sport identical
league records of 5-1-1 coming
into the regular season homestretch,
have two games left
in the regular season. Peabody
will play Beverly, which it beat
3-1 in their first meeting on Feb.
6 and will also play Winthrop at
Larson Arena on Feb. 12, while
the Chieftains have games remaining
against Medford and
Marblehead.
Prior to the start of the
Marblehead game, the team
honored its three seniors; North
Reading’s Sammie Mirasolo,
who will be studying management
at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst;

Carolyn Garofoli was among
the seniors honored Saturday.
North Reading’s Jeny Collins,
who will attend the University
of Vermont where she will
be studying history, and
Lynnfield’s Carolyn Garofoli
who will be heading to the
University of New Hampshire
where she will play field
hockey.
Peabody coach Michelle
Roach said she was glad all of
her seniors contributed to the
win.
“Those girls have been with
the program for four years, and
they’ve helped us get to where
we’ve gotten as a team,” she
said.
There were long stretches
where the action was pretty
even between, particularly
in the first period when
Marblehead held its own. Both
teams had plenty of scoring
opportunities, but Collins (28
saves) and Marbleheader goalie
Avery Olsen (38 saves) each
made a few big saves to keep
the game scoreless through the
first 15 minutes of play.
Peabody picked up the pace
in the second period. With a
player from each side in the penalty
box, Reilly Ganter scooped
up a loose puck and swished it
past Olsen about four and a half
minutes in to put Peabody on
top, 1-0.
Three minutes later the
Tanners doubled up the lead
when Ella McTeague took a
pass from Catherine Sweeney
and buried it. Mirasolo capped
the period’s scoring, with an assist
credited to Paige Thibedeau,
to make it a 3-0 game with one
period to go.
Peabody added a couple of
insurance goals in the third
period, the first from Hannah
Gramko (from Mirasolo). Jen
Flynn added an unassisted
short-handed goal with 56 seconds
remaining in the game.
Roach said she was pleased
with her team’s effort.
“We’ve been doing good
things with the puck, we’re not
just going through the motions,”
Roach said. “We did a good job
on coverage, where 9-5-1, and
now we get ready for Medford
Wednesday.”
Marblehead High coach Ryan
Wood said the team had a big
first period, and acknowledged
that Peabody really picked it up
in the second period.
“As the play went on, we kind
of second guessed ourselves,
we’re young and we’re going
to get better, we’re competitive
but we need to be a little more
competitive,” Wood said. “This
is a grind, this time of the year,
the girls played a really disciplined
game, the sky is up for
these guys, we’re taking our
lumps, but we’ll get better.”
Wrestlers have turned a corner
By Anne Marie Tobin
After several disappointing
seasons with a common theme —
an inability to fill enough weight
class divisions to successfully
compete — the Lynnfield/North
Reading team has turned a corner
as the all-important tournament
season approaches.
LNR had its best finish in five
years at the Cape Ann League/
Northeastern Conference championship
meet Saturday at
Gloucester High School. The
Pioneers finished third out of 12
teams with 11 points.
Beverly won the meet with
152 points, while Marblehead/
Swampscott finished second with
125 points.
“We had an outstanding day,”
said coach Craig Stone. “Nine of
the eleven wrestlers we brought
won matches and scored valuable
team points. We were
only outscored by Beverly and
Marblehead-Swampscott both
Northeastern Conference teams.
Being the top CAL school at
the tournament was quite an
accomplishment.”
“This year has been a bounceback
year all year long,” said
Stone. “It’s a tribute to the kids
who have hung in there these last
few years.”
Next up for the Pioneers is the
Haverhill Tournament this Saturday.
The Black and Gold close out the
regular season with a non-conference
match against Danvers at the
high school on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
After that, it’s on to the Division 2
North tournament at Masconomet
Saturday, Feb. 15.
The Division 2 State
Championship meet will be held
at Milton High School Friday and
Saturday, Feb. 21-22 , while the
All State Championship meet will
be held Friday and Saturday, Feb.
28-29 at Methuen High School.
CAL/NEC Championship
Timmy Leggett (132 pounds) and
Stuart Glover (138 pounds) picked
up first-place finishes. Leggett did
not place last year due to an injury,
while Glover was fourth. Both
wrestlers finis hed the day 3-0.
Sean McCullough (182 pounds)
came in second.
All three wrestlers earned CAL
All-League honors as did Brandon
Ouellette, who finished third
overall at 220 pounds. Stone was
named the CAL Coach of the Year.
Leggett’s road to the finals
began with two pin wins in the first
two rounds, but he needed to go
the distance in the final, defeating
Troy Forgitano of Georgetown/
Ipswich 8-3 to take the title. The
win exacted a piece of revenge
for Leggett, who lost to Forgitano
at the Wakefield Lisitano tournament
earlier this season.
Like Leggett, Glover pinned
his first two opponents to advance
to the final against Jack Rivers of
Beverly. With the match tied at 2-2,
Rivers illegally body-slammed
Glover to the mat to award the
match to Glover by injury default.
McCullough also advanced to
the final with two pins, but came
up against the No. 1 ranked wrestler
in the state in Danvers’ Russell
Canova. McCullough pushed the
match into the third period only to
lose by pin at the 4:40 mark.
Stone said the two will likely
have an opportunity for a rematch
in two weeks at the Division 2
North Sectional meet.
Nik Marotta (3-1) got his first
CAL/NEC place finish with a
third place effort at 160, while
Gerry Callagy (3-1, 170 pounds)
and Ouellette (3-1, 220 pounds)
followed suit at 170 pounds.
Other Pioneers winning
matches were Christian Real-
Costa at 113 pounds, Cam
Randozzo at 145 pounds and
Ryan McCullough at 152 pounds.
LNR 36,
Georgetown/Ipswich 21
At Lynnfield Jan. 29, the
Black and Gold picked up its
14th dual meet win.
Matt Lombardo (132 pounds),
Randazzo (145 pounds),
Marotta (160 pounds), Dan
Ryan (170 pounds) Giovanni
Colucciello (182 pounds) and
Greg Camier (220 pounds) won

Lynnfield icemen recover in time
By Daniel Kane
PEABODY — For many stretches
of Saturday’s Cape Ann League boys
hockey matchup with Amesbury it
looked as if it just wasn’t Lynnfield’s
day.
But when the Pioneers needed it most,
they got the job done in the third period
to earn a 3-1 win at McVann-O’Keefe
Rink, qualifying for the state tournament
in the process.
“Amesbury is a vastly improved team
since we played them in the beginning of
the month (a 3-1 win),” Lynnfield coach
Jon Gardner said. “So hats off to their
coaching staff and their kids. Obviously
it’s a product also of us. We just can’t
seem to start the game on time. Our first
periods are abysmal. Just getting outworked,
outshot, outhit; and (Amesbury)
is quicker to every foot race. That was
problematic.”
The Pioneers (9-5-2) have already
qualified for the tournament but are
looking to close out the regular season
on a positive note and head into the postseason
with momentum.
It won’t be easy, however, as three of
the Pioneers final four games are on the
road.
On Friday, the Pioneers travel to Henry
Graf Rink to take on Newburyport (4).
Feb. 12, the team plays archrival North
Reading at Kasabuski Rink in Saugus
(5:10), then the Pioneers close out the
regular season at Talbot in a non-league
contest against Gloucester (6).
Despite the prospect of a couple
of long bus rides, Gardner is full of
optimism.
“The Graf is the only true house of
horrors for us,” he said. “We have beaten
Triton and tied several times up there
and as recently as last year were 1-1.
We’ve been successful at Kasabuski and
up until this year have always practiced
there. And at Talbot, we have had lost of
success and our loss there last year was
our first ever.”

Danny Mack and Ronnie Tashjian
By Anne Marie Tobin
As the regular season is
winding do wn and the tournament
season is approaching, the
Lynnfield girls basketball team
may be peaking at just the right
time.
For much of the season, the
team was at or below the .500
mark, but now the Pioneers
seem to have found their
momentum.
It all started Jan. 24 when
the Pioneers upset mighty
Masconomet 37-35, thanks
to a Grace Klonsky coast-tocoast
layup at the buzzer. The
Pioneers had not beaten the
Chieftains since 2003 and the
win most definitely injected
some life into a team that had
struggled to find the right chemistry,
both on and off the court.
The Pioneers are looking
to close out the final four
games of the regular season
on a high note heading into the
Division 3 North tournament.

scored one goal each. Goalkeeper Jake
Debenedictis (27 saves) helped steal this
one with a bounce-back performance.
“He was real solid,” Gardner said. “He
didn’t make anything look too spectacular
because he was square, seeing the puck
well and controlling rebounds. That’s
great for him because he had a little bit
of a hiccup last week. His first signs of
showing some chinks in the armor. But he
bounced back which is huge.”
Lynnfield’s penalty kill also once
again proved to be a big strength, killing
off four Amesbury power plays.
“Taking penalties hurts but our penalty
kill has been solid all year,” Gardner
said. “That’s huge. Having to kill a lot
of penalties you can’t get your offense
going, can’t get your forecheck going or
get a flow. It kind of wears down some

of the four will be on the road.
Friday night, the Pioneers entertain
Triton at home. Then,
it’s on to Manchester-Essex,
a team the Pioneers beat the
first time around, 44-33, Feb.
9. Lynnfield will then travel
to Hamilton-Wenham Feb. 11,
then will close out the regular
season at Newburyport Feb. 13
where it hopes to complete a
season sweep.
“We have had our arguments
this year, but the Masco game
probably was the first time all
year we really played as a team,”
said Klonsky, a junior captain.
“I think that will go a long
way to help turn our season
around and focus on being more
positive and together.”
Lynnfield 42, Melrose 23
Sunday afternoon at Melrose,
the Pioneers ran their winning
streak to four games with
a win over the Red Raiders.
Senior captain Tori Morelli led
all scorers with 19 points and
added 12 rebounds to complete
another double-double.
Klonsky had nine points, while
junior Caroline Waisnor had
seven points. Sophomore Riley
Hallahan (3 points), junior Ava
Buonfiglio (2 points) and sophomore
Lucy Cleary (2 points)
also scored. The Pioneers improved
to 8-6.
Lynnfield 42, N. Reading 41
Friday night at home, the
Pioneers blew a 10-point lead
in the fourth quarter and trailed
41-40 with under a minute to
go, but two free double-bonus
throws by Waisnor with one
minute left proved to be the
difference.
Lynnfield still led by five,
40-35, with 1:14 to go, but
North Reading converted three
of four free throws after a personal
foul and technical foul to
make it a one-possession game.
With possession because of the
technical, North Reading took
of your better players too. Unfortunately
some of our top guys kill penalties. They
do a great job of it so it kind of takes
away their legs for 5-on-5 action.”
Despite being outplayed in the first
15 minutes, a 12-save period from
Debenedictis allowed the Pioneers to escape
the first period with a 1-0 lead.
Hammersly’s shot from the point took
a friendly Lynnfield bounce and found
the back of the net with just five seconds
left in the period to put the Pioneers
ahead 1-0.
Amesbury got it back in the second.
Debenedictis made a pad save but the rebound
went directly to an Amesbury forward
who scored to tie things up at 1-1.
Three straight Lynnfield penalties
kept Amesbury on the offensive the rest
of the period but Lynnfield’s penalty kill
the lead, 41-40, after banking
in a long three-pointer from the
corner.
Waisnor was intentionally
fouled on the next possession,
and she calmly drained both attempts
to give the Pioneers the
lead for good.
Cate MacDonald sealed the
win when she grabbed a loose
ball with under nine seconds
to go and tipped it into the
backcourt.
Waisnor, Morelli and
Buonfiglio scored nine points
each to lead the Pioneers.
Klonsky (7 points), MacDonald
(3 points) and Missy Morelli (2
points) also scored.
Lynnfield 43,
Manchester-Essex 33
The Pioneers survived a slow
start and — thanks to another
dominant effort from Morelli
(14 points, 15 rebounds) and a
rock-solid game by Buonfiglio
(seven rebounds, five points,
two steals) coming in off the
was flawless.
The Pioneers missed out on a power
play chance early in the third but they
cashed in a few minutes later. Mack’s
one timer lit the lamp this time and put
Lynnfield ahead 2-0 with just over 11
minutes remaining.
With some of their top skaters worn
down from the penalty kill, Lynnfield’s
third line stepped up. Tashjian skated to
a 2-on-1 with linemate Sean Robbins
and buried the shot to add a huge insurance
goal.
“That’s a great job by our third line,”
Gardner said. “Robbie went on the
2-on-1 and finished with his head up.
That gave us some breathing room,
which is appreciative because I’d rather
have years added to my life then taken
off.”
bench — had just enough game
to pull out a win.
“It was kind of a scary one,
but we managed to pull it out,”
said Lynnfield coach Peter
Bocchino. “Tori is on a roll and
had another monster game, and
Ava came in and was great off
the bench with some key rebounds
and hoops for us.”
Klonsky finished with nine
points, three steals and three rebounds,
while MacDonald also
had nine points to go along with
10 rebounds. Waisnor finished
with five points.
“Coming off such a big win
at Masco, we may have been
overconfident,” said Morelli.
“We said all week long that we
needed to emphasize the fact
that Manchester is a good team,
but we may still have been on
a high. Once the second quarter
came, we stopped thinking
about that last game and focused
on what we needed to do
to win this game.”
